Stanley "Stan" Frederick Humbke

Stan was born February 4, 1935 in Wetaskiwin, AB and grew up on a farm in the Haultain District. Over his life he was a farmer, equipment operator, Class 1 driver, mechanic, licensed welder, seismic driller, Industrial Arts Teacher, adult educator, gold miner, truck wrecker, inventor, and junk dealer.

He met his wife Anneliese in Wetaskiwin and they were married in 1963. They moved to a farm in 1971 near Cloverlawn Hall where they raised three children and lived until 2023.

When Stan accepted the gift of salvation in his mid-30s it changed his life. He had an active faith as demonstrated through love, service, and generosity. Stan and Anneliese prayed faithfully every day for their family and the people in their lives.

Stan deeply loved and was proud of his children, grandchildren, and extended family.

People were very important to Stan and he enjoyed visiting and telling stories. If a group of people were gathered and laughing he was sure to be in the middle of it. He had an incredible memory and sharp wit.

On December 3, 2025 Stan Humbke passed away at the age of 90 years.
